I made a similar argument to Canadian cattle farmers on Twitter who opposed the COVID vaccines etc.
Those very same farmers give their cattle vaccines and separate sick or risky cattle from the rest of the herd.
They went off the deep end.

Watching TV's Homestead Rescue & they are on a ranch in Colorado USA & they need a shoot so they can VACCINATE the Bison so they are protected.

Strange how the Bison get vaccinated so they can make 💰 (less deaths) but the anti vax people think it is a joke to vaccinate. Vaccination saves lives

Canadian media is just as bad.
Take the recent article about the PBO.
The CBC story included several really important positive comments about the new budget.
What was the headline?
The one unimportant negative comment.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Are these foreign investors, and what do they want with the land (if not to grow food)? 🤨
Maybe we should all be worried? 🤔

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Grimacing insurrectionists Lich and King with no jail time. they get to ride out their sentence in the comfort of their homes. It blows my mind that these insurrectionists get off this easy. Thankfully though, pardons aren’t controlled by the PM or premiers in Canada so the charges will stick!

These are very bad numbers for CPC leader Pierre Poilievre.

His return to the HoC should’ve been accompanied by an increase in his favourability, but he’s not increased his polling beyond margin of error.

The theatrical pandering to the base he’s doing in QP isn’t helping him. At all.
